Spellbinders Shape It Up Sneak Peek and Giveaway Day Three

Hello blogging friends! Today, is day three of the Spellbinders Shape It Up Sneak Peek and Giveaway. I have a couple of projects to share with you using the NEW E3D-010 Roman Romance 3D M-Bossabilites folders and I have a full step-by-step tutorial.

To start die cut a piece of simply smooth white cardstock using Nestabilities™ Card Creator S6-001 5x7 Matting Basics A. Then lightly mist the front and back of the cardstock with water. Doing this will loosen the fibers in the paper and allow for a very deep and crisp emboss. Set aside. *Tip-add 1-2 drops of Dawn dish soap to the water this will condition and loosen the fibers.

To create a letterpress affect start to apply the Turquoise Gem Versa Magic™ ink directly to the

M-Bossabilites folder starting at the top (hinge side). Apply the ink about half way down the folder.

Now switch colors of ink. Using the Aquatic Splash Versa Magic™ ink start applying ink in the middle and continue to the bottom of the folder. *Tip-using this particular folder you will want to do the direct ink technique-apply ink directly from the ink pad to the folder. There are several layers of dimension to this folder and applying the ink directly will give a better ink coverage than a brayer.

Place the 5x7 die cut of simply smooth white cardstock in to the folder and run it through the Grand Calibur® Machine to emboss. The embossing sandwich for the 3D M-Bossabilities™ is a little different than the regular embossing sandwich—B • Embossing Plate, M-Bossabilities Folder with paper inside and D • Adapter Plate on top.

I absolutely love the look of the letterpress with the 3D M-bossabilites! The embossing is so crisp and doing the letterpress with this folder gives the embossing the look of venise lace. I also love how the embossed pattern fades out toward the bottom. To finish of the embossed piece I stamped a sentiment from

CR-04350 Special Gifts Labels Twenty-Nine stamp set from JustRite Papercraft®.

To assemble the card I used a piece of teal cardstock scored and folded for the base. Then I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips-Refillable Dispenser-49' from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to adhere the pieces together. I added a piece of white venise lace trim along the side and then I added a few pearls to the embossed area and by the sentiment.

When using the 3D M-bossabilites try to explore beyond. Think out of the box and look at different ways to use them. The 3D M-bossabilities are not just for paper crafting.

Here is a second project that I designed using Premium Craft Foils from Spellbinders with the E3D-010 Roman Romance 3D M-Bossabilites™ Folder. I embossed the foil and then cut out parts of it and used it to alter a wooden box transforming it from simple to stunning.

Gorgeous embossing, just love colors in the card and how it goes from dark to light, your project is absolutely stunning, embossing on the foil is awesome and the pearl accents on both is a wonderful touch!

BreaTH-TAKING Turquoise Roman Art. Having the chance to work in Italy briefly left a wonderful impression on me...It's a magical place. Huge congrats to you & Spellbinders for capturing that magic in this 3D folder. BRAVO!!!!!! m.swenson

Your card and box are both incredibly beautiful. The tips for getting a deep embossing are helpful and I love the letterpress as well as combing two colors of ink. The way you made the entire front of the card from a single sheet of paper is very creative. Your box is so elegant and would make a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Oh my giddy aunt - what gorgeous projects Heidi - I love your details with this divine folder - always something beautiful from you! It is an honour to be sharing Day 3 with you my friend - love the way we colour co-ordinated - who would have known! See you soon! {{{hugs}}}
